Yeah I'm bringing my camera. Hopefully the weather wont be too bad that day but if it is raining I'll just enjoy as many animals that aren't hiding from the rain as there are. Since we have reservations I assume the giraffe feeding will happen rain or shine. I got a raincoat.

But I'll try to just post a few choice ones starting with the Giraffe. He was a 17 year old male. She said he was an alpha type male and didn't like to be touched so not to do that or he'd walk away in a huff and the feeding would be over. He was hanging out by the barn because his girl friend was being kept in for healing up from a run in with a cranky watusi. I also got a photo of an antelope with balls on the tips of it's horns so guess that was a cantankerous one too.

While not technically part of the exhibit, I kept seeing the raven around and just missing catching him till he decided to stay still since he stole some cheetah meat. Speaking of the cheetah and tiger photos aren't so great because of the fences but they are in the album.Raven by TamanduaGirl, on Flickr

I was pleased to see the coatis were not fat. This one was hiding in plain site. The rest were foraging around but near the fence so not good photos. It's better when they are further back.Sleepy Coatimundi by TamanduaGirl, on Flickr

That brown lemur is a "red ruffed lemur", though. (Wish I could have them some day.)

My main interest is in parrots, dogs, toothed whales and snakes.Future animals I want to have when we have land are camels, wolfdogs/wolves, coyotes or jackals, striped hyena or aardwolf. Also poultry, rabbits water buffalo and/or yak for livestock.

I love the photos. I wish I could go back, the vets that worked there were phenomenal. I know several of the cheetah keepers personally because they worked at the same rehab as me or I shared classes with them at OSU. :)
